{ Walking in His love. }

what is it like to walk in the love of Christ?

His way of loving and ours is completely different to begin with:
His love came with a sacrifice and without conditions.

had three opportunities to actually live out walking in His love, and it is barely midweek!:

opp. one: person acting cold and expects you for comfort
opp. two: person misjudging you and directly speaks out your faults
opp. three: person going off and blaming you for something you’re not responsible of

our human self-righteous and “i am all about principles” character can easily come out and lay down expectations of how one should act, but we can soon realize it is doom to fail.

human expectations tends to set you up for disappointments, because instead of celebrating who the person is, we dwell on the fact of who they are not -- even in moments where one may be in the right.

witness and experience that many times to tell one-self to lower our expectations on other's behavior and response to certain things.

i believe it is only in crisis we can truly see the colors of one’s heart -- and one has been repeatedly dismayed. but we aren’t perfect ourselves either – one’s person’s weakness can be another person’s strength. and it applies to the other way.

so instead of looking down and being a finger wagging voice of doom to other's faults, we can actually lift the person up by learning from them and more so, giving them opportunities to shine – everyone is destined to do so and has a big role to play in History.

perhaps He would like us to be enlarged more so than endure. because when your heart is enlarged, it adds permanent value which compliments a character change. hence the next time when an opportunity arises for one to walk in His love, it becomes a lifestyle.
